Student Multimedia Activity in Geography

Multimedia activities can be a fun way for students to "show off" their knowledge about a topic. An exciting way to use a multimedia activity in a geography classroom could be to create a presentation called "Climates of the World." Each group of students could be assigned a climate zone (tropical climates, mid-latitude climates, mid-latitude climates, high latitude climates, dry climates, and highland climates). Within each group, students would have to:

• Make at least one slide about each of the climate regions within the climate zone, including descriptions.
• Pictures to represent each of the regions.
• Areas located within the regions.
